PharmD Year 2 - Library Resources

Cochrane Library

Cochrane Library Consists of Cochrane database of systematic reviews (CDSR); Database of abstracts of reviews of effectiveness (DARE); Cochrane controlled trials register (CCTR); and Cochrane review methodology database (CRMD).

The Cochrane Library consists of several databases including the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. The Library is relatively small so simple keyword searching is usually effective. Advanced searching using MeSH (Medical Subject Heading) terms is also available.
